KIMI RAIKKONEN
"A normal Friday's programme which unfortunately ended
with a small electrical problem on my very last lap. This
didn't hamper our progress today where we focused on Michelin
tyre evaluation and set-up work."
PEDRO DE LA ROSA
"It was great to be out there for my first race weekend
since the Bahrain Grand Prix last year. Running through our
Friday programme we are not quite yet where we want to be,
however in tomorrow's practice we can continue to improve."
RON DENNIS
"With the exception of a small electrical fault on Kimi's
car in the closing seconds of practice the day was uneventful
with us focusing on tyre durability with Michelin."
NORBERT HAUG
"We worked through our scheduled programme of setting
up both cars for the race. Kimi experienced an electronic
problem on his last scheduled lap, the cause of which we are
currently investigating."
